There Seems to Be Something Over There

(POV – Demon)

How much time has passed since then? I, who was sealed by those accursed humans, have continued to be confined in this underground space. However, this seal has also been gradually deteriorating. It will likely not be long before it can no longer withstand my power. Until that time comes, I must endure.

In any case, I cannot die. I can wait for hundreds or even thousands of years. When I regain my freedom, I will at last bring the human world under my control. I will reign as the absolute ruler who commands the humans.

I desire everything. Power, wealth, and humans. My desire has no limit. That is because I am the right arm of Mammon of Greed, one of the Primordial Demons. The Primordial Demons, including Mammon, were the very beings who became the origin of the demon race. However, they incurred the wrath of the gods and were torn apart. Where those parts are now and whether they remain intact is unknown. Yet I, who am one of those parts, the right arm, have, through the passage of long years, become a demon myself. Thus, I inherited Mammon’s nature and power.

That is endless desire. All attacks are nullified, and any wound regenerates instantly. In other words, I am immortal. It is truly an ability befitting greed.

Hm? This presence is…? At that moment, for the first time in a long while, a human appeared in my domain. What business could they have? Could it be that they know the seal will not last much longer and came to reinforce it? That would be troublesome. Even though I am immortal, I do not like waiting. However, what they did was the exact opposite of what I expected.

Crack!

Astonishingly, they destroyed the barrier that had sealed me. It seems they now intend to completely annihilate me, as they begin attacking one after another with magic and swords. Fuhahaha, it is useless, child of man. You cannot destroy me.

“――Dimension Gate” (Leon)

Wha—what is this? A mysterious rift suddenly appeared behind me. Beyond the hole that had opened in space, there was only a pitch-black void spreading endlessly.

Wha—oooh!? I—I am being pulled in!?  I got thrown into the darkness. There is nothing around me. No light, no air, no matter, not even mana. It is a world of complete nothingness.

“If you can’t destroy it, then the only option is to throw it far away.” (Leon)

The hole that had connected the two worlds slowly began to close.

Wait, stop!? You intend to leave me in a place like this!? In a world where nothing exists, not a single piece of my greed can be fulfilled!

However, my protests were in vain, and the hole shut completely.

…Eh? Is this for real?

Left behind in a world of complete darkness, I could only be overwhelmed with despair.

(POV switch – Amaimon)

At that time, in the Demon realm…

“Damn it! That human brat! How dare he interfere with me…!” (Amaimon)

Amaimon, the Demon driven away by Leon, was shouting furiously in frustration.

“I know that in that city, the right arm of one of the Primordial Demons, Mammon of Greed, is sealed away…! If I could just absorb that power, I could surpass my brothers and claim the throne of the Demon realm for myself…!” (Amaimon)

His father was the current emperor who ruled over the Demons of the Demon realm. In other words, he was the legitimate prince of the Demon realm. However, with many siblings also vying for the throne, becoming the emperor was not an easy task. That was precisely why he sought the power of a Primordial Demon and led his subordinates to invade the human world… only to end in failure.

“But don’t think this is the end! Next time, I will definitely get it!” (Amaimon)

With the flames of vengeance burning in his eyes, Amaimon swore an oath. Of course, he still did not know. He did not know that the right arm he sought had already been cast away to the far reaches of another world.

After casting the Demon’s right arm into the far reaches of another world… Leon and the others were retracing their steps through the labyrinth to return to the surface.

“So that means, from now on, this country won’t be targeted by Demons anymore…?” (Shia)

“Probably, that’s what it means…” (Marie)

“To think that a problem our country had been burdened with for so long would be resolved so easily… What have we even been doing all this time…?” (Mona)

Despite the long-standing issue being resolved, the three Saintesses were following behind with strangely exhausted expressions.

“It’s a good thing this was classified information… If word got out that some unknown child solved it so easily, the reputation of the Three Saintesses would be in jeopardy…” (Mona)

“Maybe the only saving grace is that the citizens won’t find out…” (Marie)

Hearing their conversation with beast-like hearing, Leon took the opportunity to make a suggestion.

“Then, it’s okay if you just keep what happened this time locked away in your hearts, right, Onee-chans?” (Leon)

The three Saintesses were momentarily startled by his sudden interruption, but they were already used to being surprised. They quickly regained their composure.

“Rather, are you really okay with that?” (Shia)

“Yup.” (Leon)

“I see… But at the very least, allow us to give you some reward. If we don’t do that… wait, didn’t we say something similar not long ago…?” (Marie)

Originally, bringing them into the underground labyrinth was to reward them for repelling the Demon. Now, yet another major accomplishment had been added on top of that. Then, at that moment. Leon noticed something and stopped walking.

“…Hm? This wall…” (Leon)

To the eye, it was just an ordinary wall like the rest of the surroundings.

However, Leon clearly sensed something was off.

“…There seems to be something on the other side.” (Leon)
